hairpin family

Chapter 108 Inquiry
"Come on, go to the armory and find a suitable weapon for Ah Zhao."

Rocher called the servant.His silver spear weighed at least sixty to seventy catties. How could Qin Zhao, a little girl, make it move?But he was happy for a while and neglected it.

The young man was probably Luo Che's close body, he said with a smile: "But I don't know if the princess has practiced martial arts before?"

Qin Zhao knew that this young man wanted to ask himself how heavy the weapon could be, so he smiled back and said, "Please trouble me, brother, I have learned it for a few days before, and it can handle one or twenty catties, but I'm afraid it won't work if it's heavier. gone."

One catty at this moment is equivalent to a catty of two or three in her previous life. If it is ten or twenty catties, even twenty catties is equivalent to twelve or three catties in her previous life. can also make.

The young man then said: "There are a few weapons that Mr. Lang used to practice when he was young, and it seems to be suitable for the princess's current mission. The villain will help the princess find it."

Qin Zhaoyuan wanted to follow, but after hearing what he said, he gave up.However, she was curious that there was an arsenal of martial arts halls in the Duke's mansion.She doesn't seem to have heard that their family also has them.

In fact, there are thousands of guards in the palace alone, how could there be no armory?It's just that Qin Zhe hasn't been in the mansion since she was a child, and Changning and Yixing have never formally learned martial arts, so no one has mentioned it in front of her.

When the boy left the courtyard, Qin Zhao said excitedly, "Grandpa Luo really taught me the Luo family gun?"

Luo Che smiled and said, "What did Grandpa lie to you?"

The grandfather and grandson were talking when they saw an envoy leading Luo Jinghua into the courtyard.

"Jinghua pays respects to grandfather." Luo Jinghua saluted respectfully, then smiled at Qin Zhao, "I have seen the princess."

Qin Zhao hurriedly returned the gift, and said with a smile, "Brother Shi, you are welcome, just call me Ah Zhao."

Luo Jinghua only smiled.

However, Luo Che waved his hand: "A family, how can there be so much etiquette? Erlang, your sister Azhao has learned some martial arts in the past, and now she wants to follow me to learn our Luo family's marksmanship. Let me see how many moves you have with her in a while." . Also see if you have grown up recently."

According to what Luo Che meant, is he going to teach Qin Zhao the Luo family gun himself?
Luo Jinghua showed some surprise, the Luo family gun has never been passed on to the outside world, let alone outsiders, even Jing Chen and Jing Yun have never learned the true essence of the Luo family gun.And the only one who could be taught by his grandfather himself was his elder brother Luo Jingnian.Even myself was instructed by my father.

But Luo Jinghua quickly covered up his surprise, and said with a smile, "Your grandson respects your life."

From time to time, the servant came over with a silver gun. Although Qin Zhao didn't understand weapons, he liked the gun when he saw it.

Luo Jinghua used Roche's gun, and the two saluted each other before starting to move.

It turned out to be a trick to let Luo Che see Qin Zhao's skills, so Luo Jinghua didn't use his strength. Although Luo Che said he wanted to see if he had improved, Luo Jinghua knew very well in his heart that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and others might not. I know, but my grandfather must know it well, and there is no need to show it now.

Qin Zhao didn't want to be underestimated by Luo Che, so he did his best.

After Luo Jinghua went through a few tricks, he realized that although this girl was young, her kung fu was solid, as if she had worked hard and practiced seriously, but she also put away her carefree heart and dealt with it seriously.

It took about half the time to touch the stick of incense. After all, Qin Zhao was young, and the gun in his hand was heavy, so he was beyond his strength and gradually showed signs of fatigue.Luo Jinghua still looked relaxed.

Qin Zhao was aroused to be competitive.

In fact, her kung fu is not weak, and Yunrui put all her heart and soul into teaching her before.Moreover, she has been very meticulous in kung fu these years, even brother Shu Hao once taught her.She exerted [-]% of her strength, but she didn't get half of Luo Jinghua's advantage. This kid may not be really good at kung fu, but after all, he is older than herself, and he is a man, so he is actually better than himself .She originally thought that if she used all her strength, even if she couldn't beat this kid, at least she wouldn't lose embarrassingly, but now she knew that her self-important kung fu was not enough for the grandparents of the Luo family to look at.

Just as he was thinking of exerting all his strength, Roche had stopped the two of them.

Luo Che first said to Luo Jinghua: "Erlang, your basic kung fu has been practiced solidly, but when you fight, you have the intention to underestimate the enemy, and your moves are not flexible enough. If you really fight against the enemy, stick to your moves and don't know how to adapt, your strength is inferior to yours. People who are [-] points have the possibility to beat you."

"What the grandfather taught, the grandson remembers."

Luo Jinghua's kung fu is indeed a bit higher than his own. He has been taught a lesson by Roche, so isn't he not in Roche's eyes at all?This makes Qin Zhao, who has always been somewhat proud of his martial arts, unavoidably feel a little frustrated.

Not thinking about it, Luo Che smiled and said, "Azhao is pretty good. Although his marksmanship is average, he is flexible and knows how to change. If you just stick to the moves, what you have learned will not be supported by Jing Hua. Now."

It turns out that I am not without merit.Qin Zhao's wounded heart finally got some comfort.

After speaking, Luo Che looked at the sky, and said to Luo Jinghua: "It's getting late, and I have nothing to do here. If there is nothing to do in the future, you don't have to run to my place sooner or later. If you have free time, read two more This book is serious. Go and pay your respects to your parents."

Luo Jinghua did his farewell according to his words, and smiled at Qin Zhao: "I'm still at home today, if the princess has nothing to do after breakfast, you can go to my courtyard to play."

When the servant sent Luo Jinghua away, Luo Che put away the smile on his face, glanced at Qin Zhao, and said, "Who taught you the marksmanship before?"

"Grandpa Luo thinks Azhao's martial arts are too humble? Azhao used to live in the countryside, and learned some moves from an unknown teacher. He just learned some moves from the guards in his adoptive parents' home. Grandpa Luo is known as the God of War in the Great Wei Kingdom. Azhao This little three-legged cat kung fu is naturally not in the eyes of Grandpa Luo."

Luo Che shook his head: "The person who taught you must have some connections with the Luo family."

Qin Zhao was silent.It's not that she doesn't trust Roche, but there are some things that are related to her family and life, and she really can't explain them clearly.

If the news that Yun Rui and A Cai are alive is spread, and if there is indeed a secret behind her mother Dan Nian's death, it is hard to guarantee that Qin Huaiyong will not seek Yun Rui and A Cai's anger.

She couldn't let Yunrui's family risk their lives, let alone let her back road in Zhujiazhuang be cut off.What's more, for her, Yunrui and A Cai are her real relatives, and their status in her heart is currently unsurpassed.

"The one who taught me marksmanship was just a country warrior. The Luo family is famous for its spears. How can a country warrior have any relationship with the Luo family? Why would Grandpa Luo ask such a question?" Although Qin Zhao felt guilty, what he said was inconceivable. Very calm.

Luo Che sighed softly, and said, "Yun Rui taught it, right?"

Qin Zhao was silent again.

I knew this old man was not easy to fool.It was also because of her carelessness that she actually made a move with Luo Jinghua, and because she was eager to win, she unconsciously abandoned the cover in the move.The marksmanship that Yunrui taught her back then was not the real Luo family's spear, but a set of marksmanship created by Yunrui based on the Luo's family's spear.But even though it was created separately, it has the foundation of the Luo family gun.Qin Zhao originally thought that Luo Che would not see it, at least Luo Jinghua did not see that the marksmanship she used came from the Luo family spear.

Now, when Rocher asked this question, he could naturally see it.Sure enough, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.This old handsome guy is really too smart.

"Grandpa Luo, please forgive me. It's not that Azhao deliberately concealed it. It's just that Azhao promised to teach me marksmanship at the beginning, and outsiders should not mention that I studied under him." Qin Zhao didn't mention Yunrui's words, and said lightly.

"Do you remember what happened to your mother?"

"As for Grandpa Luo, Ah Zhao was under three years old when my mother passed away, so she has no memory. If Brother Ah hadn't found her, Ah Zhao would not have known that she was the daughter of the palace." Qin Zhao replied.

Luo Che glanced at Qin Zhao, who looked at each other indifferently.

Luo Che only let out a long sigh, and stopped asking, just said: "Are you really willing to follow me to learn the Luo family's marksmanship?"

"As long as Grandpa Luo is willing to teach, Ah Zhao will definitely study hard. I'm afraid that Ah Zhao will be dull and disappoint Grandpa Luo."

Luo Che waved his hand and said: "I will start teaching you tomorrow. If Grandpa taught your mother well back then, she might not... I promised Ah Ying to take good care of your mother, but in the end I failed. Heaven has eyes, you returned to the capital safely."

As he spoke, he already had a look of loneliness.

Qin Zhao thought for a while, and comforted him, "I heard from my brother that Grandpa Luo used to take good care of my mother and treated her like his own daughter. What happened to my mother was just an accident. Who would have thought that there would be a bandit?" What about Mrs. Yipin, who dared to rob the court? It was an accident, and Grandpa Luo didn’t need to be sad. Grandpa Luo was kind to my mother, and Azhao will honor Grandpa Luo for my mother in the future. My mother."

Hearing her keep saying that it was an accident, Roche had nothing to say.

It's not that he didn't send people out to look for it, but he couldn't find Ah Zhao and the Qin family boy who were living outside.Although he got some clues, he can also guess that there must be some connection between Qin Huaiyong and Qin Huaiyong.No matter how much he loves Shan Nian, there is a side-by-side palace in the middle, Duke Lu's mansion does not pursue it, and since the two children returned to the mansion, the old concubine and sister-in-law have not mentioned it anymore, and he can only pretend that those things have passed.

Listening to Qin Zhao's words now, I also know that the child may not have no resentment in his heart.

"I didn't take good care of your mother, and I'm ashamed of my old friend. Don't worry, Ah Zhao, with Grandpa Luo here, I will never let anyone bully you again. If you have a grievance in the future, just come to Grandpa Luo."

This is what Qin Zhao wanted. He straightened his expression when he heard the words, and bowed straight to Luo Che: "So, Ah Zhao has thanked Grandpa Luo."

When Luo Che saw that she agreed, he didn't even have the slightest excuse. He became more clear in his heart, and said: "From now on, I will only treat the Luo family as your home. If you like it, Grandpa Luo's language school is yours." The yard. You can come whenever you want.”

This is regarded as a promise to be her backing and retreat.

"Yes. Ah Zhao wrote it down." Qin Zhao replied with his knees bent.

Because of this remark, Luo Che probably thought of the old man, and lost his previous spirit. He waved his hand and dismissed Qin Zhao: "You are at our house for the first day today, and I will ask someone to take you to Wuhua courtyard. Auntie Wei, please greet me. Let’s have breakfast over there too. If you like, you can have a chat with girl Jingchen for a while, if you don’t like socializing, just go back to the Deyu Academy.”

"Yes, Ah Qin is going to change his clothes, and now he is going to greet his uncle and aunt."

When Qin Zhao went back to the house and changed his shirt and skirt, there was already a maid waiting outside, so Qin Zhao took Zisu and followed the maid to Wuhuayuan.

Uncle Luo Tong is now serving as Minister of Dali Temple, and he has gone to court a long time ago, so naturally he is not here.But Mrs. Wei's room is also lively, not only Luo Jinghua and Luo Jingyun who met yesterday, but also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old sitting next to Mrs. Wei, wearing a crimson jacket, a long black peony embroidered skirt with gold sapphire locks, and a bright The girl in silver and silk looks very similar to Mrs. Wei, so she should be Luo Jingchen, the daughter of the Luo family who was born by Mrs. Wei.

There are also two other women in their early thirties, who are dressed gorgeously and are not servants. Qin Zhao thinks that they should be the two concubines of Uncle Shizi.

Qin Zhao first saluted Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "Why didn't you accompany your Grandpa Luo to eat in the Deyu Academy? You ran away to me instead. Our family doesn't follow any rules. You are far away, if you want to visit your two elder sisters in the future, you can come here, but you don't have to come here every morning to say hello."

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Grandpa Luo sent Ah Zhao here. I should have come here earlier, but I met brother Jinghua just now. Grandpa Luo asked brother Jinghua to teach me how to shoot for a while. Because I was sweating, I went back to the house. It's too late to change clothes."

"Are you sister Ah Zhao?" Luo Jingchen got up, pulled Qin Zhao over, and said with a smile, "Yesterday, I heard my mother say that my grandfather misses you, so she brought you home because it was late and I was afraid of disturbing your rest. , I didn’t go to see you just now, I thought I would go look for you after breakfast, but I didn’t want to see you now.”

He also praised Qin Zhao: "I heard that Chang Ning said that she is a beautiful sister. My mother used to praise her all the time, and my grandfather valued her so much. even more beautiful."

"Sister is Sister Jingchen, right?" Qin Zhao asked with a smile when she saw that she was friendly, "I also heard from my sister that the second lady of Luofu is an outstanding one. I knew that Sister Jingchen was so good-looking. It's better to find my sister to play earlier."

She talked about one sister, and Luo Jingyun heard it in his ears, and almost died of anger. The Wuhua Academy is no better than the Deyu Academy. She dare not be presumptuous in front of Luo Che, but Mrs. Wei has always been very tolerant to the concubine's children. Luo Jingyun is not afraid, so she Humming on the side: "Second sister is only the county lord now, and I am white, how dare I be the princess of the palace and call me elder sister?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone in the room was stunned.

Although Luo Jingyun is usually a little narrow-minded, but after all, she is a girl from the Duke's mansion, and she has no education at all when she talks like this.

Qin Zhao was amused.Her principle of life has always been that those who respect me will be respected, and those who bully me will immediately slap their faces.You are rude to me first, so I am a majestic princess of the royal family, but I still rush to flatter the concubine of your Duke's family?You treat me rudely everywhere, but you want me to treat you like an onion, am I that cheap?
Therefore, out of the corner of his eye, he didn't even glance at Luo Jingyun.Just pretend not to hear it.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly said: "Ah Yun is quick-talking, so don't argue with her, Ah Zhaowan, this girl is also quick-talking, but she has a good heart. You are all sisters, don't be born."

"The third lady is enthusiastic. I went to see Azhao at the Deyu Institute yesterday. Azhao knows that she has no malicious intentions, so don't worry about it." Qin Zhao said with a smile.

Only then did Luo Jingchen secretly stare at Luo Jingyun, signaling her to stop being outspoken.Luo Jingyun didn't dare to challenge this sister-in-law, so he could only stay silent.

Mrs. Wei took Qin Zhao's hand again, and introduced the other two women with a smile: "This is Aunt Feng, and this is Aunt Yuchi."

Although these two are probably elders, because they are concubines and Qin Zhao has the title of princess, he only nodded towards them.

Seeing that the room was full of women, Luo Jinghua invited Ann and wanted to leave. He smiled at Qin Zhao and said, "If the princess is free after breakfast, please sit in my courtyard for a while. I saw that the princess just used the gun It's a bit difficult, but I have two good ones, if the princess wants to, you can go and pick one."

"Azhao thanked Brother Jinghua." Qin Zhao smiled back and asked Luo Jingchen, "If Sister Chen has nothing to do after dinner, can I go with Azhao to find Brother Jinghua?"

"Okay, the second brother's courtyard has the most things to do, and we are usually willing to go to his courtyard to have fun." Luo Jingchen complied, and then said to Luo Jinghua, "It's rare that the second brother is at home today, why don't we go out for a while How are you? You're not at home, it's rare for my mother to allow us to go out."

Luo Jinghua didn't dare to respond, so he looked at Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei laughed and said, "I really think I'm holding you back. If Jinghua is fine, just take these two girls and your little sister Azhao out to play for half a day. Just don't make trouble outside, and you guys Grandfather should also go and say something."

Luo Jinghua hurriedly said: "That's natural. Don't worry, everyone, I will take good care of my second sister and the two younger sisters."

Luo Jingchen was only one year older than Luo Jinghua, although one was born as a concubine and the other was born as a concubine, but because Aunt Feng was a low-key person, Luo Jinghua was also motivated and sensible.Luo Jingchen was closer to Luo Jinghua than his own brother Luo Jingnian.

After Luo Jinghua went out, Mrs. Wei left Qin Zhao to have breakfast in Wuhua Courtyard, and because Luo Che ordered, Qin Zhao naturally complied.

Luo Jingchen was also very happy to see that Qin Zhao was generous and really good-looking.

Although there is a younger sister in the family, she is usually competitive and has to be compared with her in everything. Luo Jingchen really can't develop any sisterly affection for Luo Jingyun.Among the noble ladies who come and go, most of them are of similar age, so seeing Qin Zhao, a younger sister who is a few years younger than her, is valued by her grandfather, and she has a good relationship with Chang Ning, so naturally she is also willing to be with Qin Zhao. close.

Mrs. Wei then ordered someone to prepare the meal, and when Aunt Feng saw the meal was delivered, she hurriedly helped the maid to serve it.Aunt Yuchi thought she was born noble, she never did such lowly things, she just sat on the side talking with Mrs. Wei.

After breakfast, Mrs. Wei sent someone to report to the Deyu Academy, saying that Qin Zhao went out to play with the Luo family brothers and sisters.

Roche didn't stop him.

Luo Jinghua rode a horse, and Luo Jingchen led Luo Jingyun and Qin Zhao into the Luo family's carriage.

On the street, Luo Jinghua smiled and asked through the curtain: "Second Sister, where do you want to go today?"

Luo Jingchen then asked Qin Zhao, "Where does Sister Ah Zhao want to go?"

Qin Zhao didn't go through the door a few times in total, so he naturally wouldn't express his opinion, and said with a smile, "Wherever sister Jingchen wants to go, Ah Zhao can just follow. Ah Zhao just returned to the capital, how can he know where it is fun? Everything depends on listening. Sister's."

Luo Jingyun said from the side: "The last time I was in the prime minister's mansion, I heard from the fifteenth mother of Lu Shilang's family that there was a new jewelry assistant in the capital, and there were many ornaments from the Western Regions, although they were not as exquisite as our Great Wei's. But it’s also interesting, why don’t you go and see it together?”

Qin Zhao originally just came out to relax and didn't have any idea about where to go. Hearing what Luo Jingyun said, he just looked at Luo Jingchen and asked her to make up his mind.

Luo Jingchen had also heard of the gold and silver shop opened by a merchant from the Western Regions, so he smiled and said, "Then let's go and have a look. If there are any good ones, we can also buy a few, and in two days it will be Ah Qin's birthday gift." , just sent her off."

Luo Jinghua asked the location of the shop. Luo Jingyun said it was in the West Market, so Luo Jinghua asked the coachman to turn the car around, and the four of them led the carriage with the maids behind them, and went straight to the West Market.
